Today it converts into nine private apartments ranging from 150 to 300 square meters, designed by Jean-Marc Mouchet with three or four bedrooms each, full kitchens, wine cellars, fireplaces, and balconies facing the slopes.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Step straight onto the snow with ski-in, ski-out access, while Courchevel 1850's village centre sits moments away on Rue de l'Église.
The rooms
Multi-bedroom apartments come with private wine cellars, open fireplaces, and slope-facing balconies, with outdoor hot tubs in select residences.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Stone pillars and timber slats flank the indoor pool, lined with cushioned loungers and vintage ski decor.
The spa
Treatments use 111SKIN products in rooms set beside a traditional sauna and hammam steam room.
At the table
Bellini's Lounge Bar mixes signature cocktails under timber ceilings, and an intimate four-table dining room serves bespoke tasting menus.
How it began
The building debuted alongside Courchevel's first ski lift in 1948, originally housing the village bank, post office, and ski school.
